EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable terracotta warrior from the tomb of Emperor Shihuangdi, dating back to the Qin Dynasty in 221-206 BC. The photograph captures the intricate details and vibrant colors that adorned these ancient warriors, highlighting their significance as protectors of the emperor's tomb. The warrior depicted in this image appears to be an infantryman, donning a suit of armor over his buttoned clothing with a distinctive crossed collar. His hair is intricately twisted into a flat bun, adding to his formidable appearance. In his hand, he firmly grasps a pole with a pointed end, symbolizing his readiness for battle. Notably, this warrior's face bears unique features - from the thin mustache above his lips to the fly under his lower lip - portraying individuality even within an army of thousands. Each terracotta soldier was meticulously painted with attention to detail on their faces, hair, and costumes. Preserved at Xi'an Beilin Museum in Shaanxi Province, China, this extraordinary piece serves as both historical artifact and artistic masterpiece. It offers us insight into the grandeur and meticulousness that characterized Chinese art during this period. Photographer Philippe Toutain beautifully captures not only the magnificence of this particular terracotta warrior but also its cultural significance within Chinese history. This print allows viewers worldwide to appreciate and admire one small fragment of China's rich heritage.
